  • @DragonStomp365 You'd be surprised how many that really don't know how to do this. Got this friend who has played for atleast 5 years now. I had to help him tune it back up from drop D after I played on his bass. "It's just drop D." but nothing really connected for him when I said that.

  • No point in making this vid... i mean jus grab a fuckin tuner and tune it down... we r not idiots!

  • So easy...why even post this video?

  • i diddent want to watch you tune your guitar for a minute i wanted a tut moron

  • To go into drop D, you tune your E string to D.

    thanks alot.

  • @llS2639ll haha on my guitars (not bass) i always worry when tuning it down. i've broken more strings going down then up surprisingly.

  • If You Have To Ask is NOT slapped!!

  • redneck much?

  • Its amazing how some people like me have no idea what the key of whatever is, So that makes this video useless for me

  • this isn't really a bass playing technique
